rudolf eb.er anyone? of all the people that make noise this guy is in a category all unto himself
-
midnight television needs to do a soundtrack to this training video

Do you think maybe the Olsen Twins Slowed videos are one of the main origins of this aesthetic (..well for Pizzawave joke-genre it obviously is but I mean for slowed Eccojams in general)?
maybe, and also some references to the ronald mcdonald movies

I remember 90s tv bumps fondly elsewhere too: Nickelodeon and PBS had some cool ones - swear I saw Aphex's On video played on Nick. When I was 9 we moved to an airbase in Okinawa and for awhile we only had the local AFN (Armed Forces Network) channel which would show cheesy PSAs, 3D animation bumps and play muzak during it's blocks of local wanted ads/information programming. Sci-fi had some good ones too:
this is exactly what initially attracted me to this genre.

Enjoying the Pizzawave sub-genre at the moment:
i love the ol' skool pizzawave stuff personally. the new shit just isn't up to par

technically i'm looking @ this book as there is very little to read (the forward and a few essays). it's a pretty hip picture book recalling the late 70s to early 80s period

even though this film takes place during a time when giallo films were being made (late 60s to mid 70s) it's not a giallo and rather- a clinical look at sound design for film. the giallo angle just happens to part of the fetish used by the director and co. to give it a unique angle and perhaps indulge in a little "homage" to influences
there is some great acting from the lead (toby jones) though he's not given much to expand on (besides constantly looking mystified and occasional outbursts of stabbing cabbages) and even though the entire thing hinges upon his character getting lost into a blurred vortex of fantasy(film) mimicking reality, there is absolutely naught as far as emotional attachement to the character (unless you absolutely love toby jones).
6/10

if anyone here is in or can make it to austin texas, the annual sux by suxwest 3 will be on march 17th and promises 40 acts on 2 stages delivering more than 10hours of noise
if anyone likes stupid noise, i can't recommend breakdancing ronald reagan enough. this is the guy that pushed record then left his house for a day and released the silence as an album. he will also be performing @ sux

a multi-layered art-haus film that uses of dialectical conflict to tell his story of unbridled capitalism. polarities such as streetwise beach girl - naive farm boy, brash new marketing ideas - conservative ideas, hard work - play at work, bikini on - bikini off are presented.
a cinema classic that won 6 awards for bodacious bodies, hot boobies and best dramatic actor (kristi ducati)

speaking of whitehouse, you guys should check out maurizio bianchi. i like some of his music though he has a very clinical approach to noise
one of my favorite acts was the gerogerigegege. these guys took the art of concept themed records to new levels that were head-damagingly weird

I think I started with it because I'd heard it was one of his best, but I just found it comical. Granted I haven't really heard another album quite like it, so I'll give it some points there. I was going to say I'll give it another listen, but apparently I deleted it so that might not happen. Does Whitehouse's style progress much from there? I could imagine some of those sounds being used in an interesting way, so I could see myself enjoying a later incarnation of that... if the vocals became less of a focal point.
yes- around the mid-90s william bennett was experimenting more and more with afrikan and haitian sounds and he started to add them to the whitehouse albums starting with bird seed. imo you really can't go wrong with any whitehouse album- but i personally never got into the early 90s releases like hallogen, dictator and cruise.
i really think you should give great white death another chance because i can't stress enough how good an album it is. i read a really good review of the album that summed it up pretty well. it was written by a woman who had gone to see a whitehouse show. the entire time, some guy was rubbing up against her and feeling her up. everyone else just stood around with their fingers in their ears completely ignoring what was happening. when the show was done, the guy just walked off like nothing happened. she thought of it as part of the show

dom used to do some pretty intense shows

Great White Death is an awful, awful album. Sooo ridiculous. I could see you getting a bit of a kick out of it though... and many consider it a power electronics masterpiece. It's got lyrical gems like "I'm cumming in you aaaaaaasssssss!" repeat x 20 --mildly amusing but gets old pretty fast. He has been making music for another 20+ years since then, so maybe he's branched out a bit. I like to think he's just releasing that same album over and over again. The idea of someone making a career out of that tickles me pink.
you cannot be serious. 'great white death' is the best whitehouse album. a good starting place would be the compilation 'another crack of the white whip' if you can find it. it's a pretty hard album to find but it serves as a good introduction to their oeuvre.

Dexter is utter dreck. The finale was shit. I don't know if I'd bother watching the next season, I don't even know why I've kept watching it this far. Is the next season the last one? Please tell me it's the last one.
yes. luckily, it will all be over soon, then we can pretend that it only went up to 4 seasons

Kwaidan - not bad - 4 short japanese ghost stories over 3 hours, so decent pacing and doesnt feel over long - some absolutely beautiful set design/matte painting/cinematography collabs
my favorite story is the 2nd one- with the snow witch. that set design and matte painting during the entire thing (particularly the tree cutting scenes) was beyond amazing. which one was your favorite one?
-
way too many "oh that was only a dream" and "argh, i'm hallucinating again" for my taste but i appreciated the 80s babes eye candy. i give it a y for yummy
-
it's your fault for not telling us about it
-
it was more the filmmakers themselves who were more about exploiting themes established in psycho and basically taking things over the top (with their own sense of morbid humor). and i think amer works best if you know nothing (or very little) about giallo itself otherwise it's basically a really bad attempt at giallo
these are some of the classics
-
i really disliked amer. it tried too hard to achieve an artsy take on films that were against artsy films

<p>hilarious dexter finale, now that the completely pointless Quinn/prostitute subplot is over, he's going to be the next one on the force to play cat and mouse with dexter. Shit is just so ridiculously predictable it's not even funny. At this point the show would redeem itself if Dexter went postal at miami metro homicide wearing laguerta's corpse as a human shield tied to him with rope weilding an oozie and him and Deb fuck naked in a pool of everyone's blood on the floor of the police station. </p>
yeah, i'm not sure what the hell happened to the writers but this season felt like they completely half assed everything- from the ukranian mob storyline that was just meant to waste a few episodes to quinn's completely forgotten storyline. even masuka seems to have been underwritten.
another problem for me was the maria storyline. it just felt a little too much deux ex machina with how that conclusion happened. at this point, dexter can do no wrong since anyone that even slightly begins to question him is eliminated since it's just better for everyone to be a puppet and continue with their near maniacal loyalty to him and his sister.

this dude max renn (james woods) views an illegal satellite broadcast show that's basically snuff film and starts hallucinating major before things go completely bonkers. cronenberg gets 10 points just for including deborah harry in all her 80s glory (yum yum)
